Markus has been a leader in the hydrogen space for the past ten years and has drafted a number of the Hydrogen Council's reports since its founding, including the newly released - and highly anticipated - Hydrogen Insights 202...

HyPoint's website lays out the problem clearly and succinctly: "By 2050, aviation will be responsible for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, up from just 10% today — unless we do something. We can not solve the existential climate crisis without zero-emission air transportation." As the world slowly emerges from lockdown and the pace of global...

The transportation and mobility sector is vast, complex, unwieldy, and, most excitingly, an obvious area of focus for hydrogen fuel cell technology applications. Hydrogen FCEVs allow vehicles to run in a wide range of environments with zero tailpipe emissions and can do so without the need for extremely heavy battery cells and can be refueled in the same amount of time as a modern ICE vehicle. Thi...

The globe is awash in waste materials and trash. The detritus of everyday life, much of it in the form of plastics, piles up and has dramatically detrimental effects on the environment if not properly disposed of and managed. Some of these discarded materials are reusable and recyclable, but a significant percentage is comprised of non-recyclable plastics that are relegated to landfills. There are...

When the pandemic recedes, lockdowns and restrictions are relaxed and eventually eliminated, and millions of residents in cities across the world begin to return to their offices and workplaces, public transit systems will once again be at the core of billions of commuters' daily activities. Urban transit systems are designed to move huge volumes of people through cities and communities quickly, r...

How do we get green hydrogen (and green ammonia) production to scale and make it cost competitive? It's a great question and we ask it all the time on the show. Well, Alicia Eastman, Co-founder & Managing Director, of InterContinental Energy (ICE) may be one of the best authorities in the world on this topic and she joins us on this episode of EAH to tell the team all about her and ICE's work...

Decarbonizing aviation is a big challenge. It is one of the most carbon intensive business sectors in the modern world and change comes slowly to the aviation industry. Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies offer a pathway to decarbonize regional flights in the not-so-distant future and big names are looking at potential solutions for long-haul flights in the longer term. But even if we build the ai...
